If you only need to store data in the render target, no need to bind the render target texture. The shader will automatically write on the render target texture. You have to bind the render target texture later when you will read it in a shader:

Understanding concurrency (and what breaks it) is extremely important when optimizing for modern GPUs. Modern APIs like DirectX® 12 or Vulkan™ provide the ability to schedule tasks asynchronously, which can enable higher GPU utilization with relatively little effort.

Third article: Drawing Simple Graphics on a RGB LED Matrix Panel with a Raspberry Pi and GeeXLab

Quote

n previous articles (HERE and HERE), we have talked about the RGB LED matrix panel as well as the RGB Matrix HAT which is the hardware interface between the LED panel and the Raspberry Pi. Today we will cover how to draw simple graphics on the LED panel.

This code is simple and at the same time offers a better control on the rendering than in previous GeeXLab. What is a simple scene for you? Maybe a simple Lua framework over GeeXLab Lua API can help you... Let me know what do you need.

Second article: Adafruit RGB Matrix HAT: the Raspberry Pi can talk with the RGB LED Matrix Panel

Here the second article (first one is HERE) about how to render real time 3D stuff on a RGB LED matrix panel with a Raspberry Pi. In this article, we’ll look at the hardware interface between the Raspberry Pi and the RGB LED matrix display: the RGB Matrix HAT.

* Add dependency in src/spec/Makefile so specversion.txt is regenerated when needed (internal issue 462). * Shorten the table of contents in the single-page ref page HTML output. Still working on the PDF (internal issue 536).

As a PBF solver FleX can't directly compete with a specialized FLIP one like Cataclysm when it comes to simulating hundreds of thousands of fluid particles in real-time, but it was never meant to do such large-scale simulations by design. FleX is a different type of solver, it can model not only liquids but solids, cloth and soft bodies (hence the term: "unified"). It also supports phase changes between different material types, which means you can take a mesh, turn it into liquid, freeze the liquid and vaporize it, for example.

In the role of a fluid solver, FleX is free to use, runs on any consumer-grade GPU newer than GTX 650, requires no simulation domes to be set up or voxel resolutions to be calculated, can be easily integrated into pretty much any game engine or DCC, produces very high-quality results and is FAST (again: for a PBF solver). To me it looks like sort of a middle-ground solution for small or medium-scale simulations.

Our productivity tremendously depends on the tools we use. One of the fundamental tools for the software developers, researchers and analysts is the programming language. There are no silver bullets, each language fits the best for the specific purpose. Sometime it’s critical to prototype fast and we often use Python, but when it comes to the performance then C/C++ is the standard choice.The Open Source movement significantly accelerated evolution and capabilities of the software ecosystems. It was literally impossible to build a full-fledged operational system within one-two yeas no so long ago. You can argue that Linux did it, but Linux was only a kernel that uses GNU ecosystem being developed many years before. In contrary, Redox OS appeared in the end of 2015 being developed using Rust language ecosystem and become probably the most secure existing OS. This is an excellent example of how the language selection impacts the project destiny (execution speed, reliability, security, development community, etc.).
